Extremely helpful, thank you! I don't for the life of me understand why Adobe makes custom dynamic stamps so complicated. It seems like a relatively simple and useful tool to add into the main GUI.

Hello! Great and helpful vid!! I do not have the ideal jargon, as I am not a programmer but like to try and learn when in need. I am currently working with a custom dynamic stamp that has 3 fields. The first 2 fields prompt the user to enter text that will show on the stamp (the script for these 2 prompts are currently working fine). The third field is an empty field that requests for a signature. I already tried adding the "Digital Signature" field from the "Prepare Form" menu. It works when the stamp is opened by itself. However, when I stamp the documents, and click on the field the signature process doesn't start. I’ve been told that I have to develop a script for the field (calculated), that when the doc gets stamped, the signature field becomes active (like the sign tab) so that the user clicks on the signature field and the stamp starts the signing process. Currently, I am stamping the docs and then sign the stamp using the "Certificate" tool and then digitally sign by dragging the square where I want the signature. I’ve been on this for a long time researching and trying w/o success. Can you please help me with the script I need or suggest if there's any better/easier way to solve my problem? BTW, I am using Acrobat DC.

@bethbretton66966 жыл бұрын
James -- not sure if you got any help with this, but I finally figured out what I needed to do to get the date to capture the current date and use it within the text field. I didn't need anything else about my stamp to be dynamic, so my Custom calculation script needed to do the work of only getting the date when the stamp is "laid down" as Aleph says. That logic now looks like this: if(event.source.forReal && (event.source.stampName == "#Stamp1")) { event.value=util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date()); } Hope that makes sense. It's working fabulously for me now.

This is very helpful, however I too, have not been able to duplicate the results. I note in the version of Acrobat that I'm running, "Acrobat Pro DC" that there is only a single file in the user folder that contains all the stamps... or I should say, most of my stamps... however that's not the issue here. It there a way that the stamp can be placed on the page without the extra approval step? I find the dynamic stamps that come with Acrobat very useful as I'm the only one using this computer. So, I'm trying to achieve the same effect each time I place a stamp, my name and date appear? Again, very helpful. I'll persevere until it's working ;-)

Actually, I just tried searching the Acrobat files for their version of dynamic code and found the following... event.value = (new Date()).toString(); AFDate_FormatEx("h:MM tt, mmm dd, yyyy"); event.value = "By " + ((!identity.name || identity.loginName != (event.source.source || this).Collab.user) ? (event.source.source || this).Collab.user : identity.name) + " at " + event.value; I tried entering it in the custom field, saving (over top of the original file) and it works like charm. No need to remove and add the template file as in your instructions. Very helpful tutorial.

For all the stamps being saved in one file, if you create a new category when you create the stamp it will generate a new file with just that one stamp, or that worked for me at least i'm pretty new to adobe
